My US Leaf has been shiped to Norway and I am looking to change the SIM to a Telenor Connection SIM card. I have not activated Carwings in the US. I read turbo2ltr thread on where the nav unit is so I guess I will be able to switch the SIM. But does anyone know how it works? Somehow the SIM number I put into my car has to be noted into the Carwings data centre (Airbiquity?). Who can do that? Is it controlled by the Nissan dealers or is it at production? I am planning to ask at the Norwegian Leaf delar tomorrow, but I am not expecting they know anything about this. But hopefully someone here knows..../LadaLeaf

I will likely be shipping my car to Germany in the future, so I'm anxious to hear how your import works. Besides carwings, I am wondering about the yellow daytime running lights. I think these need to be turned off in order to get certified...

If you are lucky, it will auto-assign as soon as you enter your carwings PIN/Password and it hits the data center. Of course, the SIM you install has to have text messaging and GPRS low-speed data access.

FYI: The TCU (Telematics Control Unit) is located to the right side of the glove box. You have to pull out the glovebox, and the SIM is accessible under a small door in the middle of the TCU (black box):

Just for kicks, here's the guts:

It's basically just a USB modem, the Navi Head unit is the "brains" behind the operation.

- I'm missing the SD card. This is major problem, not because of the map, but because the whole screen is inoperatible. I can't access air condition, readio, etc. I'm not sure if I should buy the SD card from US or one from Europe. The European maps would be nice but does it work? If not, the US map sd card will at least give me access to climate control etc, right?

- the car wings of course doesn't work at the moment.

What should I do? Any news and help would be MUCH appreciated.I've spent hours of reviewing these forums and haven't found the solution yet.
